Generally speaking when forming comparatives if the word is one syllable the letters "er" are added to the word (e.g., Short -> shorter). It may be necessary to double the final consonant (big -> bigger).

Some two-syllable words are also treated this way. The obvious choices are those ending in y (e.g., easy -> easier, friendly -> friendlier) but there are some exceptions (e.g., narrow -> narrower).

Most two-syllable words and all three-syllable words have the word "more" added to the front to make the comparative (e.g., more expensive, more logical).

Accordingly I conclude that "more fresh" is not correct and that the comparative should be "fresher" - a view that is supported by many online dictionaries as well.
